October 2026 Legal & Legislative Update

One federal requirement just went away, and an Election Day deadline is days out. Our Legal & Legislative Update turns the latest employment changes into clear, no-jargon guidance for HR leaders, business owners, and staffing partners. You’ll know exactly what’s changing and what to do about it.

Inside This Month's Issue:

  • Federal Feature: OFCCP has scrapped the disability self-ID requirement for federal contractors. As of September 21, Form CC-305 and the 7% utilization goal are gone, and coverage thresholds went up. Your written AAP still has work to do, though. We break down what changed, what didn’t, and what to pull out of your hiring workflow now.
  • State Spotlight: Election Day is November 3, and about 28 states plus D.C. require employers to give time off to vote. Pay, notice, and posting rules vary a lot from state to state. New York’s notice has to be posted by October 20 and California’s by October 24. Our state-by-state chart shows what you owe in each state.
